I couldn't agree more on footwear. I was a 62E / 21E "heavy construction equipment operator." I found that the "SOG" Jungle boots worked well, once you resoled them with a different tread pattern. I think aside from build quality, the tread pattern can make or break your feet, depending on the type of terrain your boots are going to see. Now I wear composite toe boots for my current job, and I replace them annually. I've found that you can spend a fortune and have a high-end boot that you can re-sole every few years, or just buy a cheaper, lighter boot, and replace it annually.

I'm lucky if I don't have to bust out the shoo-goo/seal-all for re-glueing the toe box within 2-3 months of use now, especially on the leather moab mids 🤦♂️ yet I have multiple pairs of the exact same leather moab mids with worn out soles and no separation, the leather and even the laces are also now much lower quality 😒 I have Solomons, Keen, Asolo, North Face, Columbia and multiple other popular hiker brands, but the Merrells are of the very very few brands without a gigantic toe box that actually fit my long narrow feet like Cinderella's slipper 🤣 I still buy them, although now begrudgingly instead of excitedly 🤦♂️ Columbia has some models similar to the Merrels, they are more durable, but often bulkier and occasionally have QC issues/similar cheap construction failures, although not with EVERY pair like the Merrells...

Bringing back a lot of memories. Sully on the mortar square! I remember Steve H from back in the day at the 5th SFG sniper locker. I put Rolf thru pre-scuba in the late 90's. I was never a fan of the MK12 due to the caliber, but I loved the MK 262 ammo in my M4. Our MK 12 rifles came with a 3-9X loopy called a TS 30. I was fortunate in that Todd H got me a 1.5-8X Horus blackbird that I used in a Larue SPR mount that I really liked on my M4. I had good luck with the SR using white lithium grease for lube. The 110 was kind of a let-down compared to the black SR's- the triggers had issues and there were other design issues that we adddressed at the unit level. I was all about the GMV with the add-on armor kit and every weapon we could mount on the thing. I knew we were screwed if we ran over a bomb, but I really liked the firepower, esp. in places like FB cobra where the enemy liked to mass on us and engage with ridicuous amounts of small arms fire. The MRAP, RG, and so on came into play after I left team life. I bought a Randall after I graduated and used it in the field exactly 1 time. I mostly carried a small fix blade SOG knife on my kit and I used a cold steel SRK with my sniper kit, along with a multi tool. They both worked equally well for opening MRE's and dip cans, cutting 550 cord, etc. I did use a Gerber folding saw and some garden shears a time or 2 to clear vegetation for loop holes and hide sight construction, etc. I would say the riskiest thing I ever did (apart from every time we drove ANYWHERE expecting the ground to explode at any second) was the SR/overwatch ops we did in small 3 man SO teams right on the pak border.

A point about despising blousing boots and hands in pockets, us Marine grunts envied SOCOM and raiders in particular, not for the cool gear and training, but the fact that you could have a beard and put your hands in your pockets. The few times we interacted with SOF guys in afghanistan we were like "man theyre so cool, they dont have to shave". There was a SEAL on leatherneck who literally looked like Jesus with long hair and a beard and we thought he was the coolest guy who ever lived simply for his hair and beard, our command guys stared at him with pure hatred (or envy). We also thought the raiders were cool just because they had clapped out 1911s, they looked like the old MEUSOC guns, probably were. this was before the colt m45. Looking cool is half the battle.

Great presentation. I appreciated your comments about uniforms. I bought a pair of Salomon trail low tops. Had them since 2018 and they’ve taken a beating but are still wearable though I wouldn’t go out on trails with them anymore as the tread has worn down enough that traction has suffered. I wasn’t SF, just a reserve 11B back in the 80s, but the OD hot weather “jungle fatigues” were my favorite uniform. They had ample room in the crotch so I never had a blow-out. They weren’t as durable as modern tactical apparel, but they were very comfortable. Anyway, thanks for this video and thanks for your service! Incidentally I read an article last night about SF taking on Russian and indigenous forces in a Syrian battle recently. Was interesting that despite being way outnumbered, SF coordinated the force multipliers very effectively. Very impressive. Of course SF has been demonstrating that skill since it’s inception.

@@wildcard556 Airborne qualification has always been a prerequisite for SF, from 1952-present. It comes from the days of the Jedburg teams jumping into occupied Europe to link up with resistance groups. You can't show up to the Q-Course without having been Airborne qualified, since you do jumps in BNCOC, Phase I, Phase II, and Robin Sage.

@@LRRPFco52 Thank you for the clarification. I was almost certain that it was still a requirement but I know things have changed a lot, wasn’t sure if the SF got hit with some of these changes as well..

did the same thing with gear. back in the 80s, bought, scrounged, et al. everything I was issued was classic USMC 782 worn out crap. got receipts and had it entered on page 11 SRB. troops should be issued a rifle or pistol when graduating boot camp/TBS and carried through service. retire, keep the gun.

Great video as always. I had a couple of buddies in the selection group filmed in 2 Weeks in Hell. I remember them telling me when it aired and watching for them in all the clips. Also, I loved the MATV as well. Leaps and bounds better than a HMMV.

Having seen a lot of foreign SOF types between 1998 and retirement, who do you think has made the most progress during the GWOT? I.e. Turks were pretty scary in the 90s because they worked hard.

After shooting and training a bit with the MK12 mod 1. This thing is cool, but heavy! I couldn't imagine running this thing in a gun fight. With the Ops Inc can, it weighs a ton. Much better options for the weight. Thanks Jeff, another great video, very informative and entertaining 👍

I’m pretty sure you can build a modern interpretation of the mk12 and shave off 1.5lbs no problem. Maybe 2lbs.

I do have a mod H, it's seems a lot more handy with a collapsible stock (CTR) and 16" barrel. I'll have to weigh them and see what the actual weight difference is.

I think I went through SFAS when you were there. If you recall a specific time where a candidate was lost and died out at Land Nav during a nasty heat wave, that was my class. Poor bastard probably didn't drink his ORH salts.

Thank you for the thoughtful video. I’m new to your work here and I appreciate the solid attention to a diversity of related topics in a short time, and how well you organize and articulate information. I’m never surprised to find that someone out of SF is an adept educator, and I get the sense that’s the way it’s supposed to be. My super-tactical question is: Can you share anything about the skateboards? :) (I apologize in advance if that’s already been covered. I’ll gladly go and check out any previous video if someone can direct me to it)
